Debra Maureen O'Donnell, MD

We love Dr. O'Donnell!

Dr. O'Donnell and her team are phenomenal. They are very thorough, they are understanding, and yet very gentle. She is just the best neurologist around, and I am not biased. She has been serving my daughter for four years, and throughout those four years, we have built just a genuine relationship with her and her team. She is just the best around.

Well done and congratulations

Dr. O is incredible and makes us feel cared about and we know she is taking the absolute best care of our daughter. She truly is the most compassionate, reasonable, competent doctor we know, and we are so thankful she is at Dayton Children's!

Doctor and the team is great.

Dr. O'Donnell always has time to answer any questions. She elaborates on things we haven't thought about and she does everything right. We really have a lot of faith in her.

Was grateful to have had this appointment. The doctor was very patient thorough and explained everything clearly . Felt like my daughter was in good hands . Thanks so much

Another great visit with Dr. O'Donnell. She listens carefully to me and my child, she explains things well, and offers options for treatment. You never feel rushed with her. We always have a great experience!

Her and her staff always take time to not only talk to me and explain things to me, but they spend time with my child and talking to him about whatever interests him as well so he feels part of the appointment also.

Dr.Odonnell always goes above and beyond! She makes sure we have 0 questions by the end of the visit, she always knows what to do and what not to do when it comes to med changes, etc! She's the best!

Dr. O'Donnell was so thorough & sensitive to my daughter's feelings & my needs! She addressed our concerns & was able to help Ava understand that her medication is working, but that she needs to tell me about any side effects. My daughter was very open with her & reaponsive to her questions. It shows that Dr. O'Donnell cares with her prompt response to MyKidsChart messages & fitting us in to her schedule.

Appointments with neurology are always positive and encouraging.

Dr. O'Donnell is wonderful. She spends a lot of time with the patient and family to go over every detail of everything. She is absolutely wonderful and we adore her.

Dr. O'Donnell was wonderful with my daughter. She listened carefully, gave us options and helped us navigate a plan for my child. I appreciated that she talked to my daughter and not just to me.

They were very nice and explain every detail of what they were going to do and I like that this is a very good hospital

I cannot rate Dr. O'Donnell and her team high enough! They are absolutely amazing! We had to wait a little longer than normal during our visit and we never had to wonder where things were. Everyone came in and kept us up to date. And then Dr. O'Donnell apologized multiple times and then proceeded to spend an appropriate amount of time with us instead of rushing through our appointment; which she most definitely could have done. She is seriously an amazing doctor and so great with our daughter!

Dr. O'Donnell is a provider that sets the bar high. She explains things very well, does not rush through the appointment, and makes us smile every time. We are grateful to have her as a provider, and it would be hard to find another like her.

She was very confident. She explained everything very well. She was extremely courteous and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you.

Dr O'Donnell is amazing and I would happily recommend her to anyone needing a pediatric neurologist. She is always so thorough and pleasant, and was the only one who was able to figure out why my daughter suddenly began experiencing seizures at 16 years old. She was so knowledgeable and ordered all the right tests that confirmed a treatable infection was to blame. No other doctor including the ER and hospital doctors with Children's and other hospitals had thought to order that specific test. She has continued to advocate for my daughter and has always treated us with the utmost care and respect. I only wish my daughter could always have her as her neurologist and not need a new one when she ages out!

Ms. Deb was very caring and she listened to all of our needs and addressed everything, went over it, made sure we understood it. And my son really liked her and she was really polite with him and gentle and she took her time and let him take his time and I'm overall very happy with her care.

For both appointments we've had with this provider, she has been over an hour late to the appointment.

Very impressed with Dayton Children’s. Knowledgable, kind, and well organized. 10 out of 10

Very thorough and listened to all my concerns

They were great with my child
